SOCIAL: Blog Award

Thanks to Nancy J Parra at This Writer's Life for giving me the Butterfly Award! You can also visit her webpage Nancy J Parra to read more about her books.

I love the concept of "paying it forward": passing on the good cheer received to others who make your life brighter with their writing and their thoughts.

Suggested guidelines when passing it along are:

1. Put the logo on your blog.2. Add a link to the person who awarded you.3. Award up to ten other blogs.4. Add links to those blogs on yours.5. Leave a message for your awardees on their blogs

"Ambition" by Justus M Bowman (a young writer who asks interesting questions. Go and vote in his on-line poll!)

In the past 50 years, the lion population has declined by 95%. Help save the lion for "What is man without the beasts? If all the beasts were gone, men would die from a great loneliness of spirit.
